in a brand appropriate environment. we think it makes the brand stronger. it's good for us and them. >> one of the things that people get -- don't understand is that the ag complex doesn't all trade up at the same time. some of the food grains did. but cotton has really gotten cheap. you had very high cotton last year. >> yes, we did. >> is this going through gross margins that cotton's come down so much? >> we had real gross margin challenges last year, particularly in our north american denim business. it's a big business for us and denim is a cotton based fabric. we lost 400 basis points in gross margins last year. >> gigantic. >> it is gigantic. but we didn't cover all of our cotton costs while we were doing that. this year, it's coming back to us. it showed up last quarter a little bit. it's going to show up for the back half of the year with improved growth margins. >> one of the things we're going to start hearing is that instead of currency being a headwind, it might be a tailwind. did you calculate 1.28, 1.29 on the euro when you did your low-range

fourth, i would have the federal government take advantage of the low interest rate environment and issue $500 million in 30-year bonds to fix the nation's infrastructure. fifth, i would slap tariffs on goods made by countries. that would stop the endless parade of jobs migrating from our country to other countries. they have a ridiculous competitive advantage over us. six, i would insist there be a course in high school called money where kids could learn what money is, how to save, how to invest. people need education about the stock market. perhaps to find their own therapeutics. seventh, i would appoint a steven jobs memorial competitiveness czar to figure out how our businesses could be made more speft and find out what they need. not government handouts but trying to get educated engineers to help these companies. i would reappoint ben bernanke as chairman of the federal reserve. if it weren't for him, he would never have gotten out of the great depression to begin with. without bernanke, we have nationalized the banks and be stuck with unemployment over 10%. here's the bottom line.

i think the environment is tough, and the confidence is low, and when you have a tough environment and low confidence, i've been somewhat, i don't want to use the word depressed but become somewhat of a pessimist. the one thing sam has been is the giant optimist, the bottom of every market sam is buying stuff. and my problem, and then i had this epiphany and i said you know the problem is, if my assessment of the realities are such, everything is massively too expensive. in other words based on the fiscal cliff and all of the head winds the stock wins should be 9,000, not 14,000. the stock marked is getting bullied by qe7 or 8, whatever number it is so we're creating artificial numbers that i don't think the underline will support. >> if barack obama is reelected, would that put you in a state of you might be dprelsed a little bit longer probably, wouldn't you? >> well i just think it would be a continuation of how i am today. >> what do you think right now, are you, do you think he'll be reelected at this point? >> i'm not a political prognosticator. >> off camera you wouldn't say yes
